Read my last post..it's still giving me the same crap. Internet will load but EXTREMELY slowly, images won't load correctly, errors on pages, and all that jazz. I'm about to throw this computer out in the rain.

Unzip the contents of KillBox.zip to a convenient location and then double-click on KillBox.exe to launch the program.

Highlight the lines below and press the Ctrl key and the C key at the same time to copy them to the clipboard:

C:\WINDOWS\jkaar.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\installer.exe

Now go to the Killbox application and click on the File menu and then the Paste from Clipboard menu item. In the Full Path of File to Delete box you should see the first file. If you dropdown that box you should see the rest of them. Make sure that they are all there.

Click on the Delete on Reboot option and then click on the red circle with a white 'X' in to to delete the files. Killbox will tell you that all listed files will be deleted on next reboot, click YES. When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, click YES. If you get a "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Removed by External Process!" message then just restart manually.

Do I need to post a new hijack this log still? I mean, my computer is just running so slowly...I just want it to run faster like a ninja and stop being so stupid about loading things and giving me popups (which are gone now BTW; thank you very much ^_^)

Beyond that you should run some basic maintenance(scandisc and defrag) if you haven't already. You can also download the trial version of Ace Utilities and run through the tools there. It will clean up and optimize your registry, among other things.

Finally if you are still having problems run System File Checker to fix any corrupted files.

Click StartSelect RunAt the prompt type sfc /scannowPlease note that there is a single space between sfc and /scannow.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and reenable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point left over from what we have just cleaned.

You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:

Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
